Introductions

LT is a dear, good friend of mine. I read her blog religiously, and I'm a professional lurker on her site. She's the writer, I'm the reader, and that's how it goes.

One day I took a big fat dose of Courage with my Wheaties and decided to get a Blogger ID. Because damnit, I was tired of logging in as "anonymous" every single day, and posting comments on LT's blog with various initials and aliases did, eventually, bore me. So I figured I'd seal the deal as an official LT groupie by announcing myself to her community on the comments section.

Except I got outed by a few folks who wondered who the hell I was, and why I didn't have a profile posted. Which was really uncomfortable to me, because I felt like I was still living in the shadows in some weird way.

So I come to you now, revealing as much of myself as I feel comfortable, to introduce myself to the world of Blogger. Now I know there have got to be gabillions of Bloggers out there who are typing their hormonal selves to bits over their pregnancy and baby birthings. But I suppose my life is less about hopefully being a vessel for some cool kid (I'm only nine weeks pregnant, after all...still not out of this purported "first trimester vulnerability zone," or whatever it's called), and more about...well, whatever I want.

I'm a girl. Who just got married. Who is crazy in love with her best friend/husband. And who has an amazing set of friends who inspire her faith and make her laugh. And now I'm knocked up. And here's where the adventure begins...

Welcome to Blogopia! On behalf of the community I've arrived on your porch to bring you the traditional welcome basket. There's all sorts of goodies in here: bitterness from JP, fish from Charlie...some of Evangeline's killer lemon bars; oh, look! coupons from Grish & Gina for geek advice, some satire from Legal Alien and a nice box of humor from Iwanski...golly, all sorts of nifty things. Anyway, welcome and we hope you enjoy your new home!

And thanks for the links. You're gonna love it here.

Found you, too. Since we are both on the Bon Vivant Gourmet page. JLow and Lorraine are something else, both fun and witty. And they have some great recipes, as do you. I just enjoy blogging and I do so quietly, over here in the corner, thinking nobody will notice. Sometimes they do.

Anyway, welcome to blogland, keep your seatbelt fastened and your hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times. It is going to be a bumpy ride! But that is just the way it goes! Congrats on the little one. At twelve weeks, you will be good to go. 95% of the kiddies stay put after that. We wish you well!!!
